<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Hi All</span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Yesterday I visited Graves Island for the first time this fall.<br/></span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">The campers are all gone now and the gate is locked but</span>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br/></span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">walkers are permitted. most have dogs - but they keep them<br/></span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">under control pretty well.<br/></span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">It was the first day I've seen winter Grebes this fall. About 20 Horned and <br/></span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">6 or so Red Necked. The Horned stay close to shore and spend a lot<br/></span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">of time under water. The Red Necked farther out. There was also about 6<br/></span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Loons around the Island. They might be anywhere - from in close to far out<br/></span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">and all were fishing.<br/></span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">A few Buffleheads and a few RB Mergansers was about all the Bay ducks I saw.<br/></span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">M</span>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">allards and Blacks stay on the shore near houses and are quite tame.</span>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br/></span>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Flowers are quite plentiful yet and insects also. A lot of fruit on the Canada Holly and<br/></span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">a good crop of wild apples. One tree in particular has large yellow apples - very inviting<br/></span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">but the tree is in a patch of blackberries. The blackberry leaves are a deep purple just now</span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"> and quite colorful but not nice to walk through. So I can't commend on the quality of<br/></span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">the beautiful yellow apples!<br/></span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">A lovely walk - enjoy the fall<br/></span>
